Use of artificial intelligence in new Miracle superhero seriessecret attack‘ has sparked concern and anger in Hollywood, at a time when television and film writers are already worried about their uncertain future. Director Ali Selim recently revealed in an interview that the Disney+ show – an insanely fun spy thriller about shape-shifting aliens Samuel L Jackson – AI as well as human painters were used to create its opening credits. The abstract sequence in question blends green urban landscapes, spaceships and shadowy human characters, many of whom gradually reveal themselves as the series’ reptilian extra-terrestrial ‘Skrulls’.
Selim told the Polygon website that the use of oh The aim was to provide a sense of ‘foreshadowing’. “When we reached out to the AI vendors, that was part of it — it just came out of the shape-shifting, Skrull world identity, you know? ‘Who did this? Who is this?'” he said. “We would talk to them about ideas, themes and words, and then the computer would go off and do something. And then we could change it a little bit using words, and it would change. It was exploratory and inevitable. It felt more exciting, and different,” Selim said.
But this revelation did not go down well with many Hollywood, where there are growing fears that AI could replace the jobs of screenwriters, designers, and even actors. such as studio denial Netflix And disney The refusal to allow AI to replace human writers was one factor that led to the writers’ strike, which is now in its eighth week.

I am devastated, I believe AI is unethical, dangerous, and completely designed to end artists’ careers,” he wrote.
John Lamm, a storyboard artist, said to use oh The WGA strike was ‘salt on the wounds of all the artists and writers’.

but according to wga, the studio “rejected our offer,” and countered with an offer to meet only once a year to ‘discuss advances in technology’. Method Studios, which is credited with creating the main title for ‘Secret Invasion,’ said the AI is “just one tool in a series of tool sets used by our artists.” In a statement to The Hollywood Reporter, no cast member’s job was replaced by the use of AI.
